Remarks
The MinorLineStyle property provides access to the style settings of the minor grid lines of an axis. These settings allow you to customize the line width and line dash style.
Note that the minor grid lines are displayed when the GridLines.MinorVisible property is set to true.
The style settings of the major grid lines can be customized via the GridLines.LineStyle property.
For more information, refer to Grid Lines, Tickmarks and Interlacing.
Example
This example demonstrates how the grid lines and tickmarks of an axis can be customized at runtime.
To access an axis, you should cast your chart’s diagram object to the required diagram type. Then, use the Axis2D.Tickmarks and AxisBase.GridLines properties to access the corresponding elements. To define the number of minor tickmarks (grid lines), use the AxisBase.MinorCount property.
// Cast the chart's diagram to the XYDiagram type, to access its axes.
XYDiagram diagram = (XYDiagram)chartControl1.Diagram;
// Customize the appearance of the axes' tickmarks.
diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.CrossAxis = true;
diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.Length = 5;
diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.Thickness = 2;
diagram.AxisY.Tickmarks.Visible = false;
diagram.AxisY.Tickmarks.MinorVisible = false;
diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.MinorLength = 3;
diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.MinorThickness = 1;
diagram.AxisX.MinorCount = 2;
diagram.AxisY.MinorCount = 4;
// Customize the appearance of the axes' grid lines.
diagram.AxisX.GridLines.Visible = false;
diagram.AxisX.GridLines.MinorVisible = false;
diagram.AxisY.GridLines.Visible = true;
diagram.AxisY.GridLines.MinorVisible = true;
diagram.AxisY.GridLines.Color = Color.Red;
diagram.AxisY.GridLines.LineStyle.DashStyle = DashStyle.Solid;
diagram.AxisY.GridLines.LineStyle.Thickness = 2;
diagram.AxisY.GridLines.MinorColor = Color.Blue;
diagram.AxisY.GridLines.MinorLineStyle.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dash;
diagram.AxisY.GridLines.MinorLineStyle.Thickness = 1;
